New cabins to be celebrated at Samuel P. Taylor State Park

The Samuel P. Taylor State Park staff will hold a grand opening celebration at 10 a.m. Wednesday of the park's newly built Madrone Cabins.

The event will include presentations by Supervisor Steve Kinsey and District Superintendent Danita Rodriguez, along with Lagunitas Middle School students and teachers.

The school's sixth-grade social studies class gave each of the new cabins a special name, and teachers helped develop a class project involving natural and cultural history studies.

The cabins are situated at the Madrone group camp area, set at the bottom of the grassy hills of Mount Barnabe.
